          He was appointed as an Alderman of Boston in 1545; his life is the subject of the opera Taverner by Peter Maxwell Davies (Master of the Queen's Music); 'In 1528 he was reprimanded for his (probably minor) involvement with Lutherans, but escaped punishment for being "but a musician".' (quote from Wikipedia)

              A U to link Beethoven's 9th, Beethoven's letters, and Siegfried.

                    is that a 9th other than a symphonic 9th ?

                        I think we've had Caroline the Beethoven 9 contralto before, so shall I discount her ?

                            Siegfried Jerusalem features on a 1954 recording of the Choral Symphony, but I suspect that's irrelevant, added to which the sun's shining and it would be a pity not to enjoy it so we're off for a walk .

                                Do not discount her.
